About the Monastery

The Timios Prodromos Monastery (St. John the Baptist) is located in the Troodos woodland region near Mesa Potamos. The Monastery “is nestled among lovely mountains covered in dense pine trees, with springs of pure water beside a little river or a large downpour.” This was written in the 18th century by the Russian wanderer Barsky on his journeys throughout the island, identifying and describing all the churches and monasteries he came across.

It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985, among nine other painted Byzantine churches of the Troodos mountain range. According to the inscription on the north wall of the Holy Bema, the church was constructed and painted with frescoes in 1280 by the generosity of Ioannis of Moutoullas and his wife, Irene. They are each shown carrying a replica of the church. Therefore, it is conceivable that the Church of Panagia tou Moutoulla was originally a private chapel.
